Tropical Buckeye Butterfly

Thank you bayucca. Part of being here in PN is to educate ourselves and with great help like yours to lead us in the right direction makes it easier. Thank you again.

That's what I told you ;-)...
I got some scientific papers about Junonia but didn't have the time to check them, looks also being tough stuff to read...

Bayucca, I really think it is a Junonia Genoveva.
The first link says, upper, Junonia genoveva (Cramer) (dorsal surface) - COSTA RICA: Heredia Province.
Heredia has the same elevations as Alajuela.
That butterfly looks exactly like mine including the small size round markings in the lower wings, both (2 in each wing) the same size and the same orange spots around the upper wings that ends just around the circles.

Thank you for the ID, gatorfellows and bayucca.

Thank you bayucca and williefromwi.

wonderful capture of your butterfly, I can see either Id given being correct.

I am not sure if this really is Evarete. Might also be Junonia genoveva. This is a very variable species and usually you can't separate them from a picture. Andrew Neild did intense research about this genus and he might have a clue by separating Evarete from Genoveva from the color of the underside of the antennae. However, this fact is not generally accepted. Alajuela is not exactly lowland elevation as Evarete is usually found in Central America.
Personally I would go with Junonia sp.

Thank you, YukoChartraw.
Even in the second picture, she attracts attention!!

Such an eye-catcher!

Thank you, gatorfellows, I think you are right.
